1945, shall be proceeded with and determined by the Court
as here constituted. In the event and to the extent of any
inconsistency between the provisions of any section amended
or added by this amendment and any of the other provisions
of this Constitution or the provisions of any existing law, the
provisions of the sections amended or added shall prevail,
and such other provisions shall be repealed or abrogated to
the extent of such inconsistency, except Section 35A of Article
III of this Constitution; provided, however, that in the event
of any inconsistency between the provisions of the sections
thus amended or added and any of the other provisions of this
Constitution as amended by any other amendments which
may be adopted at the same time as this amendment, i. e.,
at the election held in November, 1944, the changes made by
this amendment and all such other amendments to this Con-
stitution shall all be given effect.

SEC. 22. Where any term is held, or trial conducted by
less than the whole number of said Circuit Judges, upon the
decision or determination of any point or question by the
court, it shall be competent to the party against whom the
ruling or decision is made, upon motion, to have the point or
question reserved for the consideration of the three judges of
the Circuit, who shall constitute a court in bane for such
purpose; and the motion for such reservation shall be entered
of record during the sitting at which such decision may be
made; and the several Circuit Courts shall regulate, by rules,
the mode and manner of presenting such points or questions
to the court in bane, and the decision of the said court in
bane shall be the effective decision in the premises, and con-
clusive, as against the party at whose motion said points or
question were reserved; but such decision in bane shall not
preclude the right of appeal or writ of error to the adverse party
in those cases, civil or criminal, in which appeal or writ of error
to the Court of Appeals may be allowed by law. The right
of having questions reserved shall not, however, apply to trials
of appeals from judgments of Justices of the Peace, nor to
criminal cases below the grade of felony, except when the
punishment is confinement in the penitentiary; and this sec-
tion shall be subject to such provisions as may hereafter be
made by law.

SEC. 23. The judges of the respective Circuit Courts of
this State and of the courts of Baltimore city, shall render
their decisions in all cases argued before them, or submitted
for their judgment, within two months after the same shall
have been so argued or submitted.
